Is it spring yet?!!?!

Lol yea tell me about it...I'm shooting to be ready for dubs on defrost...new down pipe parts showed up today

[beefjurky69]

Got the 3.5" downpipe finished today...also relocated my oil cooler.

Beef, I think we have the same oil cooler... I was able to fit it nicely behind the kidneys. If you want a pic I'll get it for ya Friday. All I have now is this.. (I pulled em off for cooling but they fit fine.

I had it behind the kidney's but since I run my IC up side down it sits higher and won't fit with the earl fittings. I had to run in on a diagonally and didn't like it.

How confident are you in the stock rods? Stock m20 rods right? not x5x or anything.

Yea stock m20 rods... We'll the saying is that the bolts don't hold up I have arp bolts on the entire lower end so I guess we will see.

The Swedes have gotten 600+hp out of them.

Thats what i'v heard so I'm going to test this rods and find out...mine been shot peened and honed bored to make them all pretty perfect and evenly weighed time will tell.

600hp is a silly metric, TQ is what will bend them. With enough revs and by limiting TQ peaks in the midrange, ramp boost up in the top end to keep TQ flat, 600hp is achievable with stock.

I think Pete said it best Iv seen a lot of swedes make serious power on stock rods. I did a little extra to make my rods a little stronger but keeping those spikes controlled is key. I had slight issues with that this season because I was running a MBC.

Keeping a flat torque curve is what i'm trying to achieve with electronic boost controlling. Also not coming off the line with so much boost in first gear that I hurt internal engine components.

Well there you go...said from a m20 veteran. Keeping a flat torque curve is what i'm trying to achieve with electronic boost controlling.

But nowhere close to being the smartest one around...

Sounds like you are heading the right way about it then beef. I ramped the boost on the m20 and it was epic! Instead of tapering away, it just got more frantic a revs increased.

And then the fuel pump died..... :(

Sorry for changing the quote on you so quick wanted to add a few more things. No one knows it all but you've been around long enough that I would trust a good amount of your input.

I'm hoping to be going down the right path I do enjoy the m20 and want to be up there with the top m20 guys. Baby steps though and getting my ducks lined up is my focus to keep this motor together and not have and stupid issues. Also hoping that e85 works wonders for me.

Yea that fuel pump issue sucks and those are stupid issues I don't want to happen.

[Nutzy]

E85 rocks, you'll love it.

Everyone keeps telling me that I can't wait.

Get ready for 8mpg ;)
